Win32 : Junk Poly [Cryp]
PC is running WinXP Home SP2.
I had AVG antivirus but they ended the free version so I downloaded and installed AVAST free version and when it was scanning my pc after install/reboot it registered a hit on Raidsys.exe.
You’d probably want to update AVAST that your file isnt infected. At least I hope it isnt.
If he only doesn’t like this file ok, but there is also the possibility that your exe file has been corupted (even if it’s probably not the case here).
I remember that one of my anti-spyware didn’t like the FFworld script (to go on the irc).
We can confirm that the file is NOT infected. This is a false positive generated by Avast (and Avast only, that we’re aware of). We double and triple-checked this independently as well as confirming with the original Japanese developer.
If you’re uneasy about letting the file remain on your system in spite of this, you should be able to remove it with no effect to gameplay (it’s a legacy file that was part of the DRM on the original Japanese release).
The latest version of AVG is still available for free at the following link:
This doubt is allways poping in my mind… Wich antivirus is better: AVAST or AVG? :?
I have AVG in my PC, but it takes a lot of time to run…
None of them… They both pretty sucks.
When i switched from them for Kaspersky…I had about 9 Virus which wasn’t detected by iether of them or they couldn’t get rid of.
In the 5 fives minutes after i finished the instal of Kaspersky i got Zero Virus ^^
Yeah, Kaspersky is not free… But Free AV sucks.
Avast considering that unlike AVG (which I had but got rid of after it detected maid.exe as a false positive) you can put in exceptions for files that have been detected as false positives (where as AVG will just reign merry hell and constantly block the file).
If the file isn’t being detected as a virus with the current version of the VPS (which is currently 080602-0) then they’ve already sorted it out but if it isn’t then they do have a procedure for dealing with false positives (unlike AVG which has almost no support for the free version).
That’s good to know. Thanks!
But unlike AVG, Avast don’t runs automatically, right? You can’t to program a schredule, as far i can tell.
Yes you can still get AVG but they have been spamming me with pop ups telling me to upgrade from 7.5 free to 8.0 and that as of June no more updates to 7.5 Free.
I am sure it’s a false positive as well but they do allow companies to submit info to get the programs off the false/positive hits.
for me its free or go nada so free it is.
not perfect but it’ll do.
not like i visit waerz or porn sites.
Is there a problem with 8.0 Free? I just upgraded at home and it seems to be fine.
8.0 free annoyed me because when I tried to turn off the feature that I did not want, it insisted on displaying big “ERROR ERROR ERROR You’re not using all our lovely protective FUNCTIONS!!” all the time. Which is counterproductive, because it means that I can’t see if something is actually wrong, as opposed to something not running because I TOLD it not to.
I’m currently trying out Avast which is so far fine except that it causes ridiculous lag in my art program for some reason.
I’m not totally happy with the new pre-scanning of Google search results, is that the feature you’re talking about? I’m thinking I’ll probably try turning it off as well.
I have Avast on a work machine here (in addition to other virus protection) and it’s caused slowdowns and irritation as well, so I’d preferred AVG up to this point for personal use, but if it’s going to cause performance hits and be skimming my Google search results it might be a good idea to look for another option. 
Actually there is a scheduler but it’s in the advanced user interface (which also has the option to set the programme to run in the background thus consuming fewer resources) although you can set avast to do a scan at boot time (but then you don’t need to schedule the updates since you can configure avast to check for (and install) updates at startup).
Shingo I’d really suggest that you go down to having one anti-virus programme since having multiple anti-virus programmes on one computer is just asking for trouble
Also I’d like to add that some elements of AVG 8.0 like automatic updates and the e-mail scanner are only available for free for 30 day’s (which is really bad in regards to the updates since if you forget to check for updates after the 30 day’s are up then you could really be up the creek without a paddle) so you can now see where grisoft are going.
Ahh, I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks for the heads up. Perhaps switching to Avast (or actually paying for protection, heh) is in order…
I have AVG 8.0 - Free edition for more than 30 days and i never had such problem.
Maybe that’s a problem just for the 30 days-trial version.
Yeah, they offer both Free and Trial (all features of the program incorporated) versions. It’s easy to download the wrong file since AVG has two sites, one of which makes no reference to the free version.
At any rate, I’m happy enough with ver 8.0, although I was initially bothered by the slower Firefox launch times.
I see, thanks for clearing that up. I’m pretty sure I got the free version but I’ll have to double-check.
It isn’t the trial version this is from people who have downloaded AVG anti-virus Free Edition 8.0.1 (read all the reviews and you’ll find out what I’m talking about)
Possibly look at replacing it with Avast from www.avast.com I’ve yet to have a false positive that wasn’t cleared up within 24 hours of reporting it, and the free home version works great.
8.0 has a free version. They just don’t want to continue releasing updates for an end-of-lifed product. What do you want them to do, let the protection they provide expire without any warning? So like six months later you find you haven’t had any signature updates since the expiration?
I hate (hate hate hate) nagware like this, but really, you have to be reasonable. With an antivirus product, if it DIDN’T nag, people would scream bloody murder that they lost protection without being notified. (And it would tarnish AVG’s reputation, as well.)
Seconded. As a professional computer programmer I can actually attest to personal knowledge here. Antivirus software gets deep into the kernel of the OS in very fundamental ways. This is a trick very commonly used by viruses. As such, AV software doesn’t play nice with other antivirus programs, which will interpret what the other software is doing as a potential threat. They will be continually scanning each other and basically bog the machine down with their squabbling.
